RG called me from Friedrichshof, again, this morning. There's a six hour difference so his day is winding down as mine begins.

Otto rubs my shoulders as he passes behind me. I turn and tell him I leave tomorrow too! (we've all just said goodby to Kristine). "No, No!" he says in mock despair. Then he asks all the . . .
